Abstract |
This correlational study aims to investigate the relationships among undergraduate students’ adjustment to academic life, gratitude and resilience. In particular, it aims to assess the predictive value of gratitude and resilience and explore the potential mediating role of resilience in the relationship between gratitude and adjustment to university. Previous research has already demonstrated the importance of adjustment in students’ psychosocial well-being and academic success as well as the protective role of gratitude and resilience in people’s lives. A sample of 349 undergraduate students, aged 18-25 years, attending Greek universities completed an online self-report questionnaire entailing the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (Baker & Siryk, 1989), Gratitude Questionnaire-6 (McCullough et al., 2002), Existential Gratitude Scale (Jans-Beken & Wong, 2021) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (Connor & Davidson, 2003). The findings indicated that women encounter more adjustment problems compared to men, especially with regard to general, emotional and social adjustment. Dispositional gratitude, existential gratitude and resilience are positively correlated to adjustment variables and at the same time constitute predictive variables for students’ general adjustment to university life. Mediation analyses revealed that resilience fully mediates the relationship between existential gratitude and general adjustment and acts as a partial mediator in the relationship between dispositional gratitude and general adjustment. The findings are in line with Fredrickson’s (1998, 2001) broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and have practical implications for higher education counseling services seeking to counteract the negative ramifications of transition to university and promote students’ adjustment to academic life.
